On a tiny paradise South Pacific Island - Vanuatu - the spirit of a 100% dedicated, disciplined, Peace Warrior was born. Her Mentor - Mother Nature - opened her pages of the Book of Life to the girl-child's destiny. Courage meant action. Everything... or nothing !
Schooled into civilization, unrestricted by text-book impossibilities, she was 'not alone'. Though the least piece in the jig-saw-team-effort of 'Peace for the Planet' - the loudest cry which rose from the earth came from the children - because of the out-of-sight out-of-mind nuclear waste issue.
Even Peace Warriors cry. Some wars are silent killers.
Stuttering with the enormity of the task - compelled to write report - it grew with nuclear force into book proportions. A branching tree for responsible adult ears. Children's books in parable form, suitable for animation for young ears and eyes. Even a movie - extremely unique - to sound and probe the mind, with thought.
For some-one who had left school early at the age of 15, to care for my very young dying Mum, plus help my Dad - a simple song-writer, poet, and artist - the atom of truth could only win.
After 22 years in Southern Africa - working with the homeless, fighting for the Apartheid Cause, and caught up with Global Issues; by the time I was widowed at 30.
The load of all my concerns was of the nuclear waste issue, which grew into a new Energy Source. It was all connected to Cosmic Rays.
By 1979, needing confirmation of a small scientific subject I was working on, took me to a Professor Cunningham, at the Tech. for Higher Education in the Department of Physics. Cape Town South A.frica.
Five months later... he phoned,eleated.
"Three scientists, have just won the Nobel Prize for what you were explaining to me. It's all connected to the Cosmic Rays!" (The previous year had been the dicovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.)
"Oh..." was my only answer. Truth was, I knew it within me, and this was my confirmation. I certainly wasn't looking for a Nobel Prize... but I could at least thank him.
* These 3 Scientists can be found on Nobelprize.Org.
* The year =1979
* 'for their contribution to the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, including inta alia, the prediction of weak neutral current.'
* No... there is no mention of me. All I was doing was making report of 'My Reason'.
* That was then. This is now. From when the first atom bomb was dropped to a new millennium.
Time is now ! Peace, for the Children's Planet... and I, came to Australia.
My stars will still shine on the North South border, even if they blink out in here, but I have a job I must devote my time to also. Yet... in truth, in the light, stars cannot be seen!
Yes... I am human, love fun, my husband, my little dog, God, and Life.
PS. My little doggie-child, passed over the Rainbow Bridge 28-12-2011.

Would that I could follow every foot-step I must follow within a higher calling... That feet as small as mine could even fit the foot-prints without falling... Enough that still small voice has never failed to lead me ever onward... And when I've reached the one who spoke each single word which led me ever forward... I'll know the Reason why some-one as small as me was even called at all.
